Where should I put my tattoos?

I have 4 tattoos in mind (I turn 18 soon, and I want to gradually get all 4 over the course of a year or so). I just need some advice on good places to put them. I want to be able to cover them up in basic work clothes, that way they won't be a problem when I go job hunting.

The first one I am DEFINITELY getting is my favorite bible verse "Psalms 37:4" I'm not getting the verse written out, just the location of where you can find it in the bible. I already know it by heart so I wanted to keep the tattoo simple. I'd like it to be somewhere where I could see it often throughout the day, but like I mentioned some place where it's easily covered by work clothes.

The second one is one I have been really interested in getting for a couple years now, it's an outline of the world map. In the pic I attached it's on the girl's back, but I don't think I want mine there. I really love geography, world history, and traveling (I've been to 12 countries and still have more to go) and I thought this tattoo was perfect to express my love for those things.

The third tattoo is a simple cross about 1 inch in height and 3/4 inches wide. Just two simple black lines. I was thinking of placing that on the inner part of my right foot, or behind my ear. Thoughts?

My fourth and final tattoo is one that says "freedom" and the two arches from the "m" are seen as a bird flying away to the north east. This tattoo will be about the width of my wrist (approx. 2.5 inches) but I don't want it on my wrist.

So if any of you can help me think of some good places to place these tattoos, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    so you want it both "where i can see it" and "where it can be hidden in work cloths".

    first for Psalms 37:4, i think the lower ankle might work: low enough to be covered by a sock, but if you wanted to look at it, all you would need to do is cross your legs and roll down the sock.

    world map will have to be someplace big; maybe ribs or on your hip? i know you don't want it on your back, because you would like to be able to see it, but you will need a spot with alot of room.

    little cross; i would got for foot. it is too easy for "behind the ear" tattoos to stick out when you don't mean them to.

    and for the freedom bird- i would also says ribs/hip.
